RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine's applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and hold itself harmless for any injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.

1. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.

13. Do not push or force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed.

2. The work area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the saw is in operation; do not permit them to operate the saw.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. STAY ALERT! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection devices.

14. To minimize risk of injury in the event of workpiece kickback, never stand directly in-line with the blade or in the potential kickback path of the work piece.
15. Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both feet on floor. Use out feed support or have an assistant help when cutting long material.
16. Keep blade guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning, be sure it is properly re-attached before using the tool again.
17. Never leave the machine running with the power on when not in operation.
18. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by General® International may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.

7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the saw is in operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operating.

19. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
20. Always disconnect tool from power before servicing or changing accessories such as blades, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning or adjustments, or if the machine will be left unattended.

9. Keep hands well away from the blade and all moving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the blade is securely installed and inproper cutting direction before operation.

21. Make sure that switch is in "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.
22. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.

11. Be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents.

23. Do not use this saw for any purpose other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which may result from that use.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well

as an electrical plug (similar to the one shown) are recommended and SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN.

Use locally approved wire A that includes a separate grounding wire and a 3 prong grounding type plug B with a matching receptacle C.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of the "M1" model of this machine is wired for 220 V single phase operation. As with many stationary industrial type machines, because each installation situation is unique, this machine is supplied without a power cord or plug. The installation of an appropriate power cord and plug must be performed by a qualified electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source using a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must also be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded and all electrical connections must be made in accordance with all local codes and regulations.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service department.

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 220 V equipment. If you find it necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool's plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately. Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

Common causes of such overloads:
· Overworking the motor by forcing the saw, particularly with thicker denser material, thereby causing an increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
· An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an increase in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
· Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure the circuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other electrical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the digital speed display on the control box indicates one of the error messages listed below*, wait a few seconds until the message disappears from the screen, then proceed as follows to reset the electronic system protector in and restart the machine.
